SECTION D - PACKAGING AND MARKING

D.2 Packaging Requirements (Special Packaging Instructions)

A. Military preservation, packing, and marking for the item identified above shall be accomplished in accordance with the specific requirements identified below, all the applicable requirements of, MIL-STD-2073-1 and the Special Packaging Instruction (SPI) contained in the TDP.

PRESERVATION: MILITARY

LEVEL OF PACKING: B

QUANTITY PER UNIT PACKAGE: 001

SPI NUMBER: AK16084742, Dated 3 FEB 2020

B. Unitization: Shipments of identical items going to the same destination shall be palletized if they have a total cubic displacement of 50 cubic feet or more unless skids or other forklift handling features are included on the containers. Pallet loads must be stable, and to the greatest extent possible, provide a level top for ease of stacking. A palletized load shall be of a size to allow for placement of two loads high and wide in a conveyance. The weight capacity of the pallet must be adequate for the load. The pallet shall be a 40 x 48 inch, 4-way entry pallet although variations may be permitted as dictated by the characteristics of the items being unitized. The load shall be contained in a manner that will permit safe handling during shipment and storage.

C. Marking: In addition to any special markings called out on the SPI;

C.1. All unit packages, intermediate packs, exterior shipping containers, and, as applicable, unitized loads shall be marked in accordance with MIL-STD-129 including bar coding and a MSL label. The Contractor is responsible for application of special markings as discussed in the Military Standard regardless of whether specified in the contract or not. Special markings include, but are not limited to, Shelf-life markings, structural markings, and transportation special handling markings. The marking of pilferable and sensitive materiel will not identify the nature of the materiel. Passive RFID tagging is required in all contracts that contain DFARS clause

252.211-7006. Contractors must check the solicitation and/or contract for this clause. For details and most recent information, see http://www.acq.osd.mil/log/sci/ait.html for the current DoD Suppliers Passive RFID Information Guide and Supplier Implementation Plan.

If the item has Unique Item Identifier (UII) markings then the concatenated UII needs to be 2D bar coded and applied on the unit package, intermediate and exterior containers, and the palletized unit load.

D. Heat Treatment and Marking of Wood Packaging Materials: All non-manufactured wood used in packaging shall be heat treated to a core temperature of 56 degrees Celsius for a minimum of 30 minutes. The box/pallet manufacturer and the manufacturer of wood used as inner packaging shall be affiliated with an inspection agency accredited by the board of review of the American Lumber Standard Committee. The box/pallet manufacturer and the manufacturer of wood used as inner packaging shall ensure tractability to the original source of heat treatment. Each box/pallet shall be marked to show the conformance to the International Plant Protection Convention Standard.

Boxes/pallets and any wood used as inner packaging made of non-manufactured wood shall be heat-treated. The quality mark shall be placed on both ends of the outer packaging, between the end cleats or end battens; on two sides of the pallet. Foreign manufacturers shall have the heat treatment of non-manufactured wood products verified in accordance with their National Plant Protection Organizations compliance program. In addition, wood used as dunnage for blocking and bracing, to include ISO containers, shall be ordered with ALSC certified marking for dunnage or the markings may be applied locally at two foot intervals.

E. This SPI has been validated and the method of preservation/packing has proven successful in meeting the needs of the military distribution system, including indeterminate storage and shipment throughout the world. Special instructions and/or tailoring of the

SPI is detailed in the Supplemental Instructions below. A prototype package is required to validate the sizes and fit requirements of the SPI. Minor dimensional and size changes are acceptable provided Contractor provides the PCO and ACO with notification 60 days prior to delivery. Any design changes or changes in the method of preservation that provide a cost savings without degrading the method of preservation or packing or affecting the serviceability of the item will be considered and responded to within 10 days of submission to

PCO and ACO. Government reserves the right to require testing to validate alternate industrial preservation methods, materials, alternate blocking, bracing, cushioning, and packing.

F. Hazardous Materials (as applicable):

SECTION E - INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE

E.5 Initial Product Inspection

The Contractor shall perform an Initial Production Inspection (IPI), consisting of first piece inspection of three (3) units selected from the initial production lot by the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) Quality Assurance Representative (QAR). The Contractor shall notify the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) and the QAR at least 15 days in advance of conducting any IPI as described in this clause, in order to ensure the QAR witnesses the inspection. The Contractor shall inspect and document all dimensions with actual measurements. If the Contractor takes metric measurements, the Contractor shall provide standard measurements as well, and the QAR will verify both types. The Contractor shall also provide all certifications of materials and processes that are necessary to verify compliance of the tested units to drawing requirements. The Contractor shall review all IPI data with the QAR, and the QAR will then either approve or reject the IPI results by written notification to the Contractor, and concurrently provide a copy of the notification to both the PCO and his or her quality assurance point of contact. The written notification will include the Contractors name, the contract number, the tested items NSN(s) and part number(s), and, the items serial number(s) (if applicable). If the IPI is rejected, the Contractor shall repeat the inspection, or those portions of it specified by the QAR, until IPI is successfully completed.

The Contractor shall not proceed into full production until the QAR has approved IPI, and the Procuring Contracting Officer has been so notified. The Contractor shall immediately inform the PCO, QAR, and quality assurance point of contact if any changes to production processes or suppliers are made subsequent to IPI. The Contractor shall maintain a copy of all IPI data for 3 years following the inspection, unless the parties otherwise agree. The PCO reserves the right to order an additional IPI whenever a post-IPI change by the

Contractor, such as tooling, Engineering Change Proposals, or the incorporation of new vendor parts, might affect the items quality.

For any such additional IPI ordered, the Contractor shall provide serial numbers (if applicable) for all items fabricated after the new process or new supplier was initiated. If serial numbers are not applicable, then, in order to identify the affected units, the

Contractor shall document the date the new process began. The approval process for additional inspections shall be the same as approval for the initial IPI.

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

(1) Rework - The reprocessing of nonconforming material to make it conform completely to the drawings, specifications or contract requirements.

(2) Repair - The reprocessing of nonconforming material in accordance with approved written procedures and operations to reduce, but not completely eliminate, the nonconformance. The purpose of repair is to bring nonconforming material into a usable condition. Repair is distinguished from rework in that the item after repair still does not completely conform to all of the applicable drawings, specifications or contract requirements.

b. Rework procedures along with the associated inspection procedures shall be documented by the Contractor and submitted to the

Government Quality Assurance Representative (QAR) for review and approval prior to implementation.

c. Repair procedures shall be documented by the Contractor and submitted on a Request for Deviation/Waiver, to the Procuring Contracting

Officer for review and written approval prior to implementation.

d. Whenever the Contractor submits a repair or rework procedure for Government review, the submission shall also include a description of the cause for the non-conformances and a description of the action taken or to be taken to prevent recurrence.

e. The rework or repair procedure shall also contain a provision for re-inspection which will take precedence over the Technical Data

Package requirements and shall, in addition, provide the Government assurance that the reworked or repaired items have met reprocessing requirements.
